Re: H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth

When watching the "exercises" that are thrown at the crew... try to remember, that ,... they are mostly just out of training... many have not been to sea before,.. and most of the stuff they are doing is for the first time in their lives... yes.. there are some experienced crew amongst them...but it can be quite terrifying being thrust into some of these situations a the tender age of 17, 18, 19.... knowing that if you get it wrong in "real life" it could mean your death, or one of your crew mates....

Watching any of those programs about the RN makes always make me glad that despite when I was leaving school and stated I wanted to go to sea and the careers officers attempted to get me to sign on instead I trained as a Radio Officer and.went in the Merchant Navy and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the world, I don't think I could have handled the [-Censored-] in the RN.
